    I vote no on this one.Looks cast.The detail not sharp and clear.
    Never seen a catch like that one from this maker.

      Hi SweSA,

      I can only concur with the others - the gold 107 is a cast copy. Hinge/pin/catch are incorrect and the reverse has a a cast texture to it.

      Re the 1923 Gau-Ehrenzeichen, although I don't know too much about them the swas should be riveted on and that roller-ball hinge and needle pin on your example looks US made - not 1920s German.

          I think the only item here that is good is the sports shirt eagle, but it is a fairly common item in any case...

            i have doughts on all these, the 1923 should be rivited and its not, the gold wb jacks great details and the sports shirt embelm i have not seen one with the eagles neck that looks like a pheasant. the neck on what i have seen and have have a much wider neck. hope that helps

              Never seen copy with this maker mark before, i'll say the badge is probably ok made of zinc with replaced hinge, pin and catch... very sloppy job

                Hmmmm.
                Some mixed opinions here.
                On the 1923 badge, all are agreeing, its a fake.
                On the sport eagle, some like it one dosent.
                The WB that was given the thumb down, now may be a real one.

                  imo based on the very shiny basemetal and cast appearance of the reverse - but let measurements decide..

                  an original 107 with the same hinge/pin/catch;
                  44.26 x 36.70 mm, 26.03 g, thickness across the swas 4.35 mm

                  I'd expect this example to be smaller and heavier.

                      The average dimension of this type by this maker is:
                      36x44.1 mm and weight 26.1 gr.

                      The badge maybe is heavier because of the replaced hardware set-up.

                      Swesa, post some good photos of the swaz, upper berries, edge, maker mark and the areas of the hinge and catch, you have job to do

                        I will gladly do this for u,becouse of all the help i am getting here.
                        But i cant take the pictures before my kid is sleeping.

                        What i can do now is to weight it, and for me the results are not good, ca 30.1gr.
